you gotta wonder what

I don’t like to be pessimistic, but I can’t believe people think the next check and/or balance is going to stop what’s coming. He is going to ignore the Supreme Court. He is going to send US Citizens to foreign prisons. His base will not care. Congress will not not overrule him. We’re fucked.

bloomberg: ~90% of deported migrants to el salvador had no criminal record

Who needs freedom of speech when they can get you for thought crime. They’re gonna come for everyone now. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

HEY REMEMBER THIS?? bad-faith-times.ghost.io/we-need-to-s...

Opening Bloomberg.com right now

Right now.

credit to cory booker for bothering to do anything at all

Wonder Showzen is so insanely good

Wary of speaking it into existence but between Trump's debilitating case of Permanently 1989 Brain Disorder and given the other creeps he's appointed, I feel like we have to consider the possibility of Karl Malone getting appointed to this job.

there’s amazing rightwing infighting happening today due to people being accused of being “fake MAHA” because they think not being able to buy soda on food stamps might be going a little too far. these people are all insane

people keep posting this shit like amazon has not been listening to every word you say the entire time lol

You wouldn't know from reading this New York Times story about Trump punishing the University of Pennsylvania for trans athletes that there are no trans athletes on women's teams at the University of Pennsylvania because the New York Times didn't find that detail worth including

For several months I have been confusing Nick Fuentes with Jake Flores, and I was utterly confused how the “Mr. Cleo” guy had apparently performed the world’s most successful right wing grift pivot

I believe the FTC had been trying to take Musk's sworn deposition over his ownership and management of Twitter. Look for Trump to attempt firings next at the EEOC, which is suing Tesla over years of racist harassment, discrimination and abuse of Musk's black employees there.

Sorry, we broke money. It doesn’t work anymore. The green rectangles, the metal circles, they’re all busted. Doesn’t do anything at the store. We’re gonna try to get bartering started up again after we figure out how many tomatoes a house is worth

You know I’m almost 30 because I was super excited to make a batch of caramelized onions

The way people have been talking about Newsom (a guy I lived under) reminds me when there were people in 2019-2020 who wanted Mitch Landrieu (a guy I also lived under) to run. The national media “wow! This guy seems charismatic and powerful.” the locals “… wait you really think that? About Mitch?”

Gavin Newsom is so cool. Pure ambition, no values or even loosely held beliefs, assesses the current situation looking for a lane and instantly settles on People Are Into Evil Guys Now and sticks the pivot. Perfect clarity of purpose. He would be a danger to all those around him in any job he had.

Honestly appreciate Gavin Newsom violently telling on himself at every available juncture (including long before his podcast) and I'm fully prepared for the most thoughtless people on earth to pretend it never happened.

I’m literally in hell

Bennett Miller has such a funny career. 4 movies directed: 1 doc, 3 scripted. All 3 scripted movies were Oscar nominated in multiple categories. And I bet you like 50% of people who consider themselves movie buffs could not recognize the guy’s name.

tesla car vehicles will have more legal protections than trans people

Live from Newark Fuera ICE #NJProtest

Just to spell this out: you, too, are not breaking the law. Versions of this could happen to any of us.

This should have been signed by every Democrat and every elected official who opposes the kidnapping and illegal imprisonment of political dissidents

I constantly think about the fact that the Vance/Musk/Tech flank of this admin is a bunch of dudes who jerk off a Usenet poster and Cult of the Dead Cow mailing list writer and claim he’s a “modern day Plato” or whatever

If a Democrat said this it would be the single biggest scandal of the year and the person would be out of politics by the end of the week

No Other Land just won an Oscar without US distribution. Absolutely legendary for them, this film and its message. The most important award of this year, hands down.

Genuinely shocked No Other Land won. Good for them

Cutie at the Wawa gave me my fountain drink for free today 🥰

On Bumble BFF and I just told another straight guy he’s “got that John Waters look” that I bet “makes him popular at family get togethers.” Totally unrelated, I don’t have any friends here in Philly

Big Dom haters are silent this evening

Drake is the all-time biggest loser of a rap feud and that includes people who have gotten shot and died as a result of rap feuds
